Devoted solely to the study of Welsh writing in English, this academic journal provides a forum for critical discussion on Welsh literature and authors. With essays from Victor Golightly on Dylan Thomas, language, and the deaf; Matthew Jarvis on the poetics of place in Ian Davidson's poetry; and Lucy Stevenson on two drafts of an unpublished Dorothy Edwards short story, this journal provides an opportunity to explore the tradition of English-language writing in Wales.
